MPG QUESTION - 6/9/2007 2:14:43 PM    typhoon4x4   Posts: 6 Joined: 6/9/2007 Status: offline HI EVERYONE just bought the 07 uplander lt .awesome vehicle all the extras are in it , although i am very concerned on the mpg issue the dash states im getting 10.5 mpg.has anyone issues withthe mileage my car has 390 miles and have not taken any long trips,and all the driving has been local.this is still a concern because living in the city 80 percent of my driving is local streets.i realize the car needs to break in but has anyone had this experience and have had teh mileage improve as the car breaks in ,or is this common and the car only gets better mileage on the highway? at this rate my 5.7 hemi charger has better mileage? also i read here that the 3lt package has some sorta 40 gig hd for flixs and stuff .how do you know if the car hs this feature dealer stated clearly my car had all the factory options in it.
